• Soil quality is significantly improved by desert reclamation. • The SOC stocks show exponential change with long-term conventional cultivation. • The N:P ratio has an essential influence on SOC and nutrient stocks. Reclamation in desert-oasis areas is effective for improving land productivity and ensuring food supply. However, the understanding of the sustainable productivity of soils under long-term conventional cultivation after desert reclamation is still poor. This study was conducted to determine soil structural properties, organic carbon stocks (SOCS) and nutrient stocks under four desert reclamation ages (0, 30, 60, and 100) in the arid region of northwest China, and evaluate the influence of long-term conventional cultivation on desert soil quality. The results indicated that soil structural stability index (SI) in topsoil improved after desert reclamation, but showed a slight downward trend after 60 years of cultivation, and farmland soil in the study area was still at serious risk of degradation (SI ≤ 5 %) overall. SOCS were enlarged by 4.2 times after desert reclamation, and nitrogen stocks (NS) and phosphorus stocks (PS) were increased by 1.2–6.5 times. However, the regression analysis showed that SOCS and NS in 0–40 cm soil layer and PS in topsoil stopped increasing after about 60-year conventional cultivation. Soil stoichiometry, pH and texture were the key factors affecting SOCS, NS and PS in oasis farmlands. In summary, our study emphasized that soil quality in arid areas was greatly improved after desert reclamation, however, long-term conventional agriculture management measures limited this improvement. Therefore, long-term conventional management of agricultural land in arid areas should introduce appropriate conservation measures to achieve sustainable soil productivity. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
